Iirc, gdm by default starts X with -dpi 96, while startx lets X detect the correct size. You may want to check in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf and search for the server-Standards command. You can look at /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc or $HOME/.xserverrc to tune "startx" behavior. If the problem occurs in both gnome and xfce, I don't think it's xfce related, and I'm quite positive it's a dpi setting. Can you also check the following things: xrdb -query | grep dpi xdpyinfo | grep reso grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log In previous Xfce version, DPI were forced to 96 via xrdb at startup, that's not the case now because a lot of people don't have 96 dpi displays. Can you check that? Regards, -- Yves-Alexis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
